The Disqualified Commander of the Abandoned Shipgirl

“Everything has been dug up cleanly.”

"But it's still just a puppet to be toyed with at will."

"Like a bird in a cage."

"And there is no end date."

"How can there be a creature that is born to face death in various ways?"

"…September 9th, log entry complete."

The girl opened her blue-gray eyes and looked at the figure walking towards her in the sunlight.

"It's a minute late today, Sheffield, what happened?"

"Do you still remember the time when you are daydreaming?"

"I'm not daydreaming, I'm just recording something."

"Use air to remember?"

"Use your mind—"

The girl pointed to her temple.

Sheffield was not as leisurely and elegant as her. He continued the previous question and said, "Today's records will not be submitted for the time being, and the mental test may also be postponed."

"why?"

"I don't know. It seems that a very important person has come. Everyone in the laboratory is on standby temporarily. Jincun even went to receive him personally."

"That's it."

The girl nodded.

"But this has nothing to do with us. I thought everything here would continue to run like a gear."

"Even gears get rusty someday."

"That day, it's time to replace the new gear."

"..."

They all have to do their own thing.

If you stop doing it, it's over and terminated.

This means that the value of existence has been exhausted.

It's time to destroy it.

124. Visit

"Liyang Laboratory has long been famous."

Everyone stood aside respectfully. Even the most prestigious assistants could only stand in the ordinary ranks at this moment.

In the middle of the aisle, there was only a man in a white coat and a young man in military uniform.

"I am a distinguished guest, but what brings you here?"

"It's just a little thing."

Lin Shen walked up to the man, lowered his head slightly and stared at him for a while.

A depressing atmosphere quickly spread.

The people of Sakura Empire don't seem to be particularly tall.

...No, it should be said that Lin Shen’s physical fitness is too strong.

He is at least 1.8 meters tall.

People who are over 1.7 meters tall can be looked down upon slightly.

However, the solemn atmosphere at this moment was definitely not caused by this slight height difference.

"Little things?"

Jincun Shihua stared at Lin Shen vigilantly.

He didn't think that Lin Shen's sudden visit was for some trivial matter.

Ordinary people need to go through a lot of procedures to see him.

Reservation required.

Even for people in the military, this rule applies to everyone from the highest commander down!

Anyone who can break this rule is a distinguished guest that Jincun Shihua needs to treat with caution.

But... Lin Shen is obviously not among them.

This is not because Lin Shen is not "expensive".

But it is because he is not a "guest".

"Doctor Jincun, you don't have to look at me like that. I always value harmony." Lin Shen said slowly, "I heard that your research focuses on the mental level, so I wanted to come and see your research results and appreciate them."

"..." Jincun Juhua was silent for a few seconds, then said, "My research results have not yet been obtained. I only have some half-baked experimental projects in progress. I'm afraid I will disappoint you."

"Then tell me about your half-baked research results." Lin Shen stared at him calmly, his tone was flat, but with a hint of arrogance that could not be refused: "Li Yang Laboratory has a long-standing reputation. I believe that even if it is just a little bit of half-baked research, it will not disappoint me."

"..." Jincun Juhua was silent for a few seconds again, and then said: "This research project has a lot of cooperation with the Shinagawa family, it is confidential. Even if you are the minister of [Sakura], you can't break the rules so casually, otherwise, I won't be able to explain to the Shinagawa family."

Shinagawa family.

It is also a top family force.

Moreover, it is one of the largest families that holds an absolute influence in the military.

He rose to prominence through military exploits and his roots spread far and wide.

These are places like various institutions, laboratories, and institutes that engage in research.

There are basically local big forces supporting them behind the scenes.

There is no such thing as isolated research.

No money.

Even if it is not a huge local political force, it will be a huge capital group.

In short, money, land, and qualifications all need to be secured.

Or maybe, it is a big player in the academic field.

It has a very high social status.

otherwise……

It's very difficult.

Kanemura Juhua directly moved the Shinagawa family out.

This is no problem.

Li Yang Laboratory was indeed funded by the Shinagawa family behind the scenes.

Given the status of the Shinagawa family, who would dare to mess with them?

Um--

It is a pity.

The only person in the entire Sakura Castle who dares to completely ignore the Shinagawa family and is even willing to offend them even more deeply is standing here.

Kanemura Juhua threw the Shinagawa family out without any confidence at all.

I can only pray——

"The Shinagawa family——"

Lin Shen showed a look of realization.

And then said.

"It's okay, the Shinagawa family won't mind. I'm a senior commander appointed by the military, with an additional ninth-level salary, and I'm also an honorary general of the military. I think Shinagawa Tsutomu will be happy to give me some face."

"but……"

"Or do I really have to go through this process?"

"..."

The place was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Jincun Shihua and Lin Shen looked at each other, and finally lost.

He would never dare to offend the madman in front of him.

After all, the rumors about "Tianjiao" are still vivid in our minds.

He didn't want to test whether his laboratory defenses could withstand Lin Shen's invasion.

If Lin Shen goes back today, he won't be so polite when he comes back next time.

As for whether Lin Shen will go to the Shinagawa family to ask for "permission"...

This is not important.

Because the important things have been lost before this.

For example, the life of Kanemura Juhua.

Yes, he is a doctor, he has many achievements, and his scientific research ability is extremely outstanding.

So?

Aren't we still just mortal beings?

People themselves have no value.

What brings value and weight is the fist in your hand...

Kanemura Juka's attempt failed.

The Shinagawa family can't rely on——

I can only obey the arrangements...

"Come with me." Jincun Juhua turned around and began to lead the way, "This is not the place to talk."

"it is good."

Lin Shen took a step forward and followed.

McCall followed behind him.

Every time she saw Lin Shen forcing others to bow their heads, she felt he was very handsome.

How many people in the world can do this?

Only a handful.

Jincun Shihua brought Lin Shen to the center of his laboratory base.

Then he took out almost all of his latest research results.

Give something away.

Lin Shen was not polite and accepted them all with a smile.

Although he cannot use this information himself, he will definitely need his own scientific research talents in the future.

This information can be of great help.

Lin Shen has everything he needs now except people.

Therefore, the only way to get the manpower you need and solve the problem of manpower shortage is to break the rules you set.

The "manpower" mentioned here is not the ordinary people like those from the [Golden Holy Wings].

Rather, we need capable people who can be absolutely trusted.

The soul contract is indeed a very bad "slave contract".
